LIVE MUSICIAN -- DEEJAY -- MASTER OF CEREMONIES -- LIGHT SHOW

As a Live Musician, DeeJay and Master of Ceremonies, I provide the most entertainment value to clients at a resonable price. I play and sing live music using keyboards, acoustic and electric guitar, and variety of other musical instruments. Many of my clients comment on how much I sound like a full rock band. I also provide DeeJay services with a collection of more than 20,000 of the greatest songs of all time, as well as a powerful sound system and fantastic light show.



The song ("Romeo & Juliet" by Dire Straits) was selected by the bride and
groom for their "first dance" during the wedding reception at the
Tremont Grand Hotel in Baltimore, MD. Shortly after their wedding,
they sent the following note to me :

"You were incredibly helpful and accomodating and helped make our
wedding reception a wonderful event. Everyone had a great time
and really liked the music. You were very professional and enthusiastic
and learned all the special songs we wanted. We highly recommend
you and will gladly call again for future events."

I've been blessed with great opportunities to perform during the past 30 years at some very special events in the lives of my clients. Typically, I hadn't sought or saved all of the positive feedback until sites like WeddingWire.com and Gigmasters.com provided clients with a way to do it.

For most of my clients, I'm a pleasant surprise because I'm much more than a DJ, but not as expensive as a complete band. Regardless, I play some great music with a very full sound and I know from experience that your guests will respond positively. I hope you'll consider me to help create just the right mood for your special day. Whether you're looking for quiet music in the background or want to dance through the night, I'll deliver. I'll work closely with you to determine exactly what you want to achieve. And I know the right protocal for weddings and receptions, so announcements and introductions of the wedding party are always made with class and distinction.

A complete sound system (for any size room), special lighting and guest microphones are all provided at no extra cost. If you want your wedding guests to become more involved with the music, I can provide conga drums, tambourines and a cowbell for them to play. And if they want to sing, it's up to you.


Gary, a father of the bride, sat down with me after another wedding
reception to record his comments. He told me they started looking for
a four-piece rock band and end up hiring me for significantly less cost.
Like many clients, he was glad he made the right decision.

I completely understand that your guests will represent a broad range of ages. Some enjoy mellow music so they can talk, while others prefer to crank it up and dance to the rythmn of great rock and roll. It's the reason why even some of the classic tunes -- from Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett, for example -- are played with an upbeat twist. And, suprisingly, some of the older folks will tap their feet to songs from Jimmy Eat World, The Beatles, Van Morrison or the Everly Brothers. It's the right mix of music for the kind of diverse age groups you'll probably invite to your wedding.

My goal is to make your special event successful and memorable! Please contact me with any questions or simnply to discuss your ideas. Whether you select me or not, I'm always happy to help.

Earlier this year, my wife and I attended one of his public performances in Old Town Alexandria and we stayed to hear him play right to the better end. I recommend him with total confidence. John totally blew us away with his charisma, musical ability and terrific voice. He knows exactly how to work a crowd so everybody is on their feet and dancing. And what a range of songs he knows -- from Frank Sinatra to some of the newer stuff that I can't name but everyone seemed to know and enjoy. He's a lot of fun and enjoys getting everyone involved in the msuic by singing along or playing a tambourine.

Dear John,

I wanted to let you know that the marriage you helped our family launch so perfectly is thriving!!! I am writing because, as you know, we feel you became part of our family during the wedding. We know you welcome these updates.

My daughter is my �One and Only,� (I lovingly call her �My Favorite Daughter!�) so naturally my fatherly instincts were heightened by 10 fold! My wife and I wanted everything to be the very best and you delivered! I was amazed at how well you listened to us and most importantly my daughter and her wonderful fianc�. (He calls me Dad!).

The Music of Love set the right tone for every aspect of our special day. You created music for the wedding that was spiritual and uplifting. This was very important to my daughter. We loved your idea of using a grand piano during the reception before dinner. The classic love songs my daughter and her husband selected provided just the right mood leading into dinner.

You quickly gained report� with our guests and made the announcement of the wedding party the best experience I have seen. We still wonder how you knew those special things about the men and women in the wedding group.

During dinner your soothing and subtle melodies set the right tone for conversation to take place. My wife and I also liked the way you facilitated the toasts, even those out of the blue. We were also impressed that you kept playing to maintain the atmosphere through the meal. You�re certainly not difficult to feed even though we tried to fill you up! You were on full power all day with just the six shrimp my wife gave you � no stops!

John, you shined best during the party and dancing after dinner. Every event -- whether it was the bouquet toss or cutting the cake -- had a musical background and you were an exceptional MC. Thanks again for accommodating all the requests, even the crazy ones! I believe the best tribute to how well you did was that everyone stayed to the end and went home happy!

John you were the perfect solution for our family. You kept our expenses under control yet provided something very special � a memory that is relived each time our family is together! Thank you for bringing a smile to our hearts that will last throughout our lives!

All the Best!

Father of the Bride

P.S. I you ever want us to talk to someone about Music of Love, we will be pleased to respond.
